Downloaded and installed PlayOn last night.YouTube and ESPN videos work just fine.When I try playback of Hulu and CBS videos,I get the following message everytime: There are no playable files in this folder.

Tversity can play RSS feeds which is essentially what PlayOn is doing... what Tversity cannot do is play DRM protected material, PlayOn can...

You will get different results from the rss feed in Tversity and Playon which uses the YouTube API. Notably you can stream "unembedable" content in Tversity and not Playon. Yahoo Pipes give even a different answer, especially on Subscriptions.

A couple things...Silverlight, it is not being forced on you... it is your choice and netflix will never force you to use it... Many netflix movies don't work on it yet, and the xbox app for netflix would not work anymore... i.e. MS would get pissed

Maybe this should be clarified. If you CURRENTLY use the Media Player for Netflix you CAN opt-in to the Silverlight Beta but you cannot opt out if it doesn't work. That's per the Netflix Opt-in agreement.

If you are signing up I'm not sure. There is at least one user on the Playon board who called Netflix before signup and was told he/she/it could only get the Silverlight Player when it downloaded. Maybe the user and Netflix rep were wrong. The Netflix site is moot on the point.

I'm having the same problem with version 2.58.3239.4486. There are no playable files in this folder.

------------------------------------------------------------------------I read a report that said the typical symptoms of stress were eating too much, drinking too much, impulse buying, and driving too fast. Who are they kidding? That's my idea of a perfect day.

Directv 3/1998-9/2011 now with Verizon FIOS and loving the faster DVR and being able to use both the external & internal drives at the same time

AFAIK,I am running the current version of PlayOn Bushwacr.I downloaded/installed it last night.The version number that shows on my "Registration" page in the PlayOn settings is :2.58.3248.42897.I have made several attempts to playback content from Hulu and CBS with no success.YouTube and ESPN content works just fine.

On another note,I have my Hulu and YouTube accounts listed in the PlayOn settings.

Go to the system check of play on. What does processor speed report? Mine is 1.8 per core and in yellow. It sounds to me like you have a slow processor which is limiting the performance.

I told my wife about it last night and she seemed very excited about this. So, this is something we will use and will be worth $30.00. This is a good thing because see usually doesn't get too excited about this kind of stuff.

Yeah my wife loves it too ...... I think her comment was on the order of " Finally you buy something good instead of ......... "

What version shows up when you click "Update"?

Is WMP11 running and sharing? Playon needs it to support DRM possibilities in Hulu and CBS.

Otherwise, I suggest you hit the "Support" button and send a ticket to Media Mall. Be patient while it creates the log for uploading. The support team usually answers quickly. I've had answers within minutes.

This is very cool... I was pretty impressed with Hulu's quality but haven't had luck getting my Netflix to play. It finds my instant queue but can't play them. I'm going to give it some time and try again.

Do you have the Netflix media player app installed on the server 'puter? A few users forgot to do that, including me.

I got offline for a little while to play around with this some more.YouTube and ESPN programs playback with no issues,no error messages.The Hulu and CBS programs now appear to be hit and miss at this time.Some of the programs will playback,others will not.When I click "Update",I get the following message:You are already running the latest version of PlayOn:2.58.3248.42897.Currently watching an episode of Hawaii Five-O from CBS.Playback of this program has worked well so far.

A couple of HR users in the PlayOn user forums have noticed that HR's seem to time out quickly as they poll and a restart of PlayOn helps keep the HR focused. YMMV
